Questions on Event Management
October 17, 2008, 06:14:37 am
CiviCRM looks like a great solution to help the dozens of membership organizations that I work with. Membership management seems pretty full featured, but I have a couple of questions on Event Management:

1. Is there support available or in the works for breakout sessions for events?
2. Is there support in the event registration module for member vs non-member or any kind of tiered pricing?
2. When a member is logged in and they are registering for an event, does their contact info get populated in the event registration form?
3. When a person registers for an event, are they added to the contact database as a non-member contact automatically?

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.

(I see that some of my questions are similar to the questions by Sensoria below, so I will be keeping an eye on that node as well. Don't feel obligated to answer these questions in both places - thanks).

No, but this would make a good community contribution :)

Not in 2.1 or earlier. In a future 2.x release, we hope to add "hook" support for the pricing, which will enable the above

yes (or if they are present in the db, their info is updated)

Thanks Donald,

I figured that would be the answer to number 1. I have done quite a bit of devel work with perl and some with .Net, so I suppose I could roll up my sleeves and dig in to PHP as well. I will definitely look into this.

I am just getting started with Drupal, so I think I have a nice steep learning curve to climb, but what is life without a little adventure  ;D

Thanks for your time,
Q
